"News Bird, this way~"

The cries of a human woman rang out nearby.

The little bird selling the newspaper was startled, this is in the sky, where did the human woman come from?

It flapped its wings and looked left and right, noticing the ...... speeding through the air in the near distance Phone bugs?

It's not surprising that phone bugs can simulate human voices.

But how did those little snails become able to fly?

The news bird flapped its wings and flew over.

"Bolu?!"

Quilted by ". B' holding, blowing the wind in the sky, Xiao Lu was napping comfortably, and was suddenly startled by the approach of the news bird, and the whole insect "snorted", and the whole body changed, and the sea and sky were the same color, merging into one.

"Gah?!"

The news bird was taken aback by the change of the phone bug, and what surprised it even more was that after the phone bug became "transparent", the scene in the small hole at the door of the phone bug's head became very conspicuous.

At the small opening, a human woman is waving to it, "News Bird, I want to sell newspapers." ”

"Gah?"

Newsbird doesn't know what to do...... The boss didn't say that there would be such a situation?

"You fly in first." Robin beckoned to it.

The news bird was hesitating, and was suddenly caught by an unsightly hand, and went directly to the castle entrance of the little green brain. It turned out to be '. B』I can't stand it anymore, so I can help it.

Downsizing, the news bird fluttered down in front of Robin.

Its tiny mind couldn't understand what was going on. What is this place? Why is this human woman suddenly getting bigger again?

But whatever, business still has to be done. The news bird took out a newspaper in its mouth and handed it to the human woman in front of her.

"Thank you." Robin smiled and touched his body, "I'm sorry, I'll go get some change." ”

When she and Lynch left Nine Snakes, they didn't take much money with them.

Although the three Hancock sisters don't mind giving them hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of millions of Baileys...... But neither Lynch nor Robin will choose to accept it.

As for Robin, he felt that he had not made much contribution to Nine Snake Island in the past few years, but he had been taken care of a lot by Snake Tulip.

Lynch, on the other hand, boldly used these parting bonuses as temporary residence expenses in the past few years.

And the three Hancock sisters also know that with the skills of the two of them, money is such a thing, as long as there is a demand, it is easy to get it. For example, the pirate ship that is full of seas, isn't it easy to rob one casually?

The news bird follows the human woman into this strange hole**.

Really...... What a strange cave......

Twisted pattern...... The walls seemed to wriggle, and it looked like something solidified......

The floors and ceilings are not flat...... The passage is also uneven, skewed and thick......

As a domesticated seabird, bathed in human civilized life, where can the news bird adapt to this distorted painting style of Crusu in the telephone bug castle?

Trembling and following, for fear that the human woman would pull out her sword and slaughter herself to cook soup if she didn't agree with each other, suddenly the front was wide, and she came to a larger space, leaning against the weird and twisted corner, stacked with several human backpacks.

Robin rummaged through his backpack and found a 100 Bailey coin and handed it to Newsbird.

The deal was completed, and the news bird slipped away with relief, flapping its wings and flying out of the channel, and BIU returned to the sky in one fell swoop.

"Gah?"

It turned back but couldn't see anything, the small castle hole on its forehead was hard to detect against the backdrop of the huge sky and ocean, and the camouflage of the green phone bug.

If it weren't for the fact that there was indeed a missing newspaper and an extra coin in his bag, the news bird would have thought it was his hallucination.

Fluttering ......

The news bird let out a chirp, swept through the sky, and slowly flew away.

On the windless sea below, sea kings splashed the waves, churning again and again, as if they were wrestling with something......

Robin walked to the castle cave and sat down, blowing the strong wind in front of him, unfolding the newspaper in his hand that smelled of ink, and reading the news.

She rummaged through the plates about the navy and paid attention to current affairs, but unfortunately in the news she found, it was nothing more than a report that a certain naval branch sent troops to exterminate a certain pirate group, and what remarks a certain naval officer made, etc., and there was nothing Robin wanted to see - it has been almost a year since Hancock petrified the vice admiral of the navy headquarters, and it is really strange that he has not seen any special movements in the navy at all.

Even if the Nine Snake Pirates did not go to sea in this small year, Hancock has been staying on Nine Snake Island...... Even if the navy can't drive the warship into the windless belt for the time being...... Robin believed that there were still people in the navy who could come to the Nine Snakes alone to negotiate. For example, for a period of time, in Robin's eyes, everyone on Nine Snakes Island, regardless of whether they were tall, short, fat or thin, had a face on their heads, and Lynch became Kuzan of the Frozen Bird; Another example is the vice admiral who searched for her and Lynch in the sky like golden light on Dr. Vegapunk's hometown of Organ Island......

But as a result, the navy did not take the initiative to land on the island.

Do you want to be eager and be pinched by the Nine Snakes? Thinking so, Robin flipped the page and saw a relatively large section with a special piece of news.

The "Resort Island", a famous place of the great voyage, will hold a "World's No. 1 Sword Hero Competition", and all masters of the sea are welcome to sign up.

The address for registration and participation is naturally the resort island, and the entry requirements are just no requirements! You don't even have to be a swordsman.

In the end, if you win the championship, you will get the reputation of "the world's No. 1 swordsman"!

Of course, there is also a huge amount of real money as a bonus that is enough to tempt the vast majority of people......

With one hand for fame and one hand for profit, I am afraid that this competition will attract many people to participate. Robin thought about it, glanced at the registration time, and was surprised to find that the registration time for this competition lasted for several months, nearly half a year.

It seems that this is enough publicity work, and it also reserves time for participants from all over the sea to sail to the resort island to register.

I wonder if Lynch is interested in this competition......

"The world's No. 1 Sword Hero Competition?"

Lynch held a small fish with a white belly in his mouth, broke away from the rushing waves, and jumped into the air.

With a "poof", he spit out the white-bellied fish, and he stepped on the moon steps, "pop", "pop", "pop", and it looked like a walk.

Hawkeye's title as the world's No. 1 swordsman, shouldn't it be won in this game?

∩∩∩......

Lynch's figure walked in the air together, and the pitch-black armor holding the green phone bug also followed the movement trajectory of the body, up and down, fluttering forward.

He rubbed his chin in thought......

After all...... In fact, it's strange to think about it, how did the name of the world's number one swordsman come about?

Just look at the various tears in the post bar in the previous life, and the second netizens can pick it up casually, such as the red-haired Shanks, the foil Bista, the retired Reilly, and even the Four Emperors Aunt (people also have a knife), the Four Emperors Whitebeard (the Qinglong Yanyue knife is not a knife?) And as we all know, in the One Piece world, a sword is a sword, and a sword is a knife)...... Even the old bald head of the five old stars who is holding glasses that is suspected to be the first generation of ghosts!

There are so many awesome swordsmen, why are you the world's number one swordsman with no serious record Hawkeye?

But if it's a title that has been won in a world competition, it makes sense......

You know, there are indeed many fighting tournaments in the One Piece world!

In the arena of the Dressrosa chapter, the "sabotage cannon" of the Long-Hand Clan, Edio, who later became a member of the Straw Hat Troupe, is the so-called "V2-level overlord of the New World Central Fighting Tournament".

Since there is a V2 class, there must be a V1 class, and most likely, Blackbeard's captain of the first ship, Gizas. Badgers is the V1-level hegemon because his name is "Fighting Champion".

"Lynch?" Robin noticed that he seemed to be distracted, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Huh? Oh! Lynch came back to his senses and talked to '. . . B' looked at each other. I believe it is also thinking about its own thoughts.

The two invariably thought of it: the most important thing is that the "God of Creation" Oda Tsai is a brain-dead fan of the famous Uncle Toriyama...... The world's No. 1 martial arts club in Dragon Ball, it is reasonable to change the skin and become the world's No. 1 kendo in the world of pirates!

But that's my business!

Lynch shook his head and didn't think much more.

Robin asked, "Don't you plan to go?" ”

Lynch walked in the air and said with a smile: "We're going to the Chambord Islands!" Isn't it a pity that if you don't use that note from Kulokas anymore, it's probably going to rot? ”

Robin also smiled, "I didn't make it a few years ago, so don't go anywhere else this time." ”

Lynch laughed, "That doesn't matter!" ”

With that, he jumped into the sea and continued to jump into the sea, fluttering the waves that soared into the sky, and swimming while playing with the sea kings.

Of course, with Lynch's size, he can't beat the giant sea kings as big as a mountain peak - the main thing is that he can't knock it. However, the giant sea kings are also very bulky, and in front of Lynch's flexibility, they are really like clumsy submarine peaks, they can't be beaten, but there is no difficulty in hiding.

At this moment, the waves of the sea are swept up, and the moment they dive into the water to shuttle, tease the sea beasts, swim, and gallop straight in the direction of the great route, but also happy!

In the air, Robin smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand to pass the time.

………………

I don't know how long it took, but the newspaper in my hand was blown and shaken.

Suddenly the wind was stronger.

Robin looked up, and a straight line appeared in the boundless blue sea below.

On one side of the straight dividing line, there is a windless sea area as calm as a lake; On the other side of the ocean, the waves are undulating and the waves are turbulent.

And the huge white waves formed by Lynch's swimming are also crossing the boundary from the calm sea and entering the rough sea.

Leave the windless belt ......

Ahead is the first half of the Great Voyage.

She and Lynch once passed by here, looking for Lynch's Reilly through the Chambord Islands, where the ghost castle wanted to fly straight to the midpoint, but she didn't expect to enter the windless zone due to some accidents, and she didn't return to this sea area until today...... Robin thought so, and soon felt a sense of weightlessness.

『. B』 at the altitude of the lowered flight.

Robin looked out into the sea below, and the huge spray left behind by Lynch's swim had begun to disappear at some point.

Does he swim underwater? Robin guessed.

She knew that Lynch's stand-in could sense Lynch's position, but she didn't have to worry about losing the other party.

『. B: "The body is underwater...... I look like I've run into someone else!'

Robin was surprised, "Others? ”

This is the sea on the edge of the windless zone, and who else will swim in the sea except sea beasts and humanoid monsters like Lynch?

Bang......

Beneath the seemingly calm sea, there was a dull crashing sound.

Bang...... Bang......

On the calm sea, the waves, which were originally only slightly undulating, slowly stirred up with this dull collision.

Bang......

With a boom, the sea exploded into a huge column of spray.

『. B's slightly bright eyes moved slightly, and he saw a figure flying out with a thin jet of water.

"It's him!"

The stand-in armor thought, "Counting the time, their pirate group should have been formed for a while......

……

[A moment ago, out of the windless zone, in the water below the surface of the sea, Lynch was hunting a sea beast that was not big or small. 】

[After swimming for a long time, swimming out of the windless belt with bare hands, this amount of exercise is not small. Although it can't make Lynch feel tired, his stomach is also hungry in advance. The sea beast he was chasing was driven out of the windless belt by him, and now it is out of the windless zone, and it may not be easy to get such a thing in the great voyage, Lynch was greedy and refused to let go, so he dived underwater, diving extremely fast, like a torpedo, and chased the large sea beast. 】

[Little sea beast, you ran so hard, it's so pitiful! I could see that tears were pouring down my stomach and finally coming out of my mouth! 】

[Lynch's eyes glowed red, and he actually caught up with a sea beast, and it was a punch around it, bang...... The sound of the underwater fist is dull, and it also rolls up turbulence in the sea. 】

[The sea beast was knocked away, and its huge body drove the current of the riot. After all, Lynch is not a creature in the water, and it is difficult to maintain balance in such chaos, so he can only break through the turbulence with his strength, and use the powerful impetus of the "water step" to break through the turbulence, and go straight to the sea beast that rolls his eyes, and then make up for it. Bang ......】

[Every punch disturbed the current frantically, like an underwater shock wave again and again, the momentum was very loud, and the small fish and shrimp nearby were frightened and fled. 】

[Lynch was pulling the mane of the huge sea beast, and was happily cooking the upcoming lunch, when suddenly his eyes froze, and he turned his head to look at the chaotic currents underwater. 】

【Gollum ......】

[He clearly heard that in the chaotic sound of the current, there was a different sound. 】

【Gollum ......】

[The voice is approaching him at great speed!] 】

[Boom...... A column of water visible to the naked eye, yes, a column of water in the water, like a cannonball, grazed Lynch's ear. 】

[Lynch hovered in the turbulence, looked at the place where the attack came, and only caught a glimpse of a shadow speeding again, circling under the sea beast, and soon, the sea beast that was so aggrieved that it screamed fled in a hurry. 】

["Disturb Lao Tzu's lunch? You're done, you know? ”】

[Lynch's mouth gurgles, and he quickly stepped on his feet and rushed straight towards the figure. 】

[That person probably didn't expect him to make such a decisive move, hastily raising his hand to block, boom! ] The huge punch power surprised him, and after seeing Lynch's appearance, he was taken aback again. 】

[And after Lynch got closer, he saw the appearance of this guy clearly, and said with some surprise: "Huh? ”】

[As soon as he spoke, the corners of his mouth were bubbling again......]

……

Disheveled! Back in the present, a column of water rushed up on the sea, and a figure jumped out.

Immediately afterwards, Robin saw Lynch also rushing out of the sea, and he stepped on the moon step with his feet, following the other party.

The figure was in front and above, constantly circling the water.

This Lynch is behind, below, stepping on the moon and approaching at great speed, and every time he steps on the waves, he kicks the waves into a fluffy wave, shattering into a splash in the sky, scattering a rainbow-like halo in the sun.

The figure jumped out of the waves, flew through the air, drew an arc, and fell into the sea with a "poof".

"It's really worthy of being a sea man, this swim is really fast!"

Lynch laughed loudly, stepped on the air, and with a "pop" explosion, the whole person pierced into the sea like a torpedo, without any waves.

Two shadows, one in front and one behind, chase under the surface of the sea.

『. B' also flew in the air to catch up with the phone bug and Robin in the phone bug castle.

And underwater, the whale shark man Jinping, who is not yet a sea hero, is shuttling rapidly, but he can't get out of the human behind him.

Bang...... Bang...... Bang......

In the sea behind him, there was a rhythmic muffled sound. With each ring, the speed of the humans who followed behind instantly increased by a while!

"What's that way of swimming?" Jinping was secretly surprised, "As a human being, he can keep up with the speed of a fish-man like me underwater......"
